It was a royal village of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth prior to the Partitions of Poland. It was again part of Poland in the interwar period, after the country regained independence in 1918. It was administratively part of the Białystok Voivodeship. According to the 1921 census, the population was 97% Polish and 1.6% Belarusian.

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the village was first occupied by the Soviet Union until 1941, and then by Germany until 1944. Approximately 3,000 people including Jews were killed in this location by the German Nazis. On July 13, 1943, the Germans murdered 50 Poles from the nearby town Lipsk at the site. Among those killed was Marianna Biernacka, one of the 108 Blessed Polish Martyrs of World War II.
